Open Call Bandstand-Songcamp
Bandstand-Songcamp in HELLERAU
15.02.23 to 18.02.2023 – Application deadline: 10.01.2023, 23:59 hrs.
In February 2023 we will gather for the first time in HELLERAU – European Centre for the Arts to hold a Bandstand Songcamp on site in the Festspielhaus. In small groups (between 2 – 4 songwriters) you will compose, write and produce songs on the fly. The groups are put together anew every day. You either start from scratch or bring already existing song sketches into the process. In the evening, we listen to the production status so far, exchange ideas, motivation and obstacles and inspire each other.
You will receive 300 € for your participation.
The song camp is something for you if you:
- have a strong connection to Saxony (your centre of life or your place of work is Saxony).
- feel at home in pop, rock, jazz, electro and all related subgenres.
- can take the entire period from 15.02.2023 to 18.02.2023.
- already have some experience in songwriting and are open to new approaches and ideas.
- feel like working in small groups.
- want to make new contacts in the industry.
- would like to present the freshly written songs to a (professional) audience at the Fachtag POP and at the Bandstand Festival.
We are awarding six places for this song camp to artists from Saxony. Simply apply by 10.01.2023, 23:59.
